It’s been a great run. But after 17 years, Bernie and I have decided to retire the Relationship Bootcamp.

4. Leadership is Not Outcome-Specific We can agree that my pick-up basketball team definitely had leadership…Mr. Hot Hand. And my team won the game. But what if we lost? Was there still leadership present? Of course! For leadership is not outcome-specific. Losing...
While I Was Reading This Morning…
Reading this morning about trust…came across a phrase that blew my mind! It reminded me of some of my past experiences in church. It also reminded me about the expectations couples in their relationships. Had to share. The value that others accord members for their...
